Shimano 6-Bolt Disc Rotor 160mm - Silver

This rotor is optimized for use with resin brake pads for the best balance of performance, noise, and pad life. While it may work with metallic pads, it is not its primary design and may result in different performance characteristics.

It is compatible with any disc brake system that uses the standard 6-bolt mounting pattern and can accommodate a 160mm rotor size. Always confirm compatibility with your specific brake caliper and hub.

Use a clean cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the braking surface. Avoid touching the braking surface with your fingers, as skin oils can interfere with braking performance.

The 6-bolt designation refers to the standard mounting system where six small bolts are used to attach the rotor to the wheel hub.

No, this is a 6-bolt rotor and will not directly mount to a Centerlock hub. You would need a Centerlock-to-6-bolt adapter or a Centerlock rotor.

It is recommended to inspect your disc rotor periodically, especially before and after long rides or in adverse conditions. Check for visible damage, warping, and ensure bolts are secure.

Ensure the rotor is clean and free from contamination. Check that brake pads are compatible (resin recommended). Verify rotor and caliper alignment. Bed in the pads and rotor properly.

Check that the rotor is true (not warped). Ensure the wheel is seated correctly in the dropouts. Adjust the brake caliper alignment so it is centered over the rotor. Ensure rotor bolts are fully tightened.

Check brake pad wear and replace if necessary. Ensure rotor is clean and free of oil or grease. Verify proper brake pad and rotor compatibility (resin pads recommended). Check brake fluid level and bleed the system if necessary.
